PSU Quick Picks

Pick a power supply in three steps, then choose from units we trust.

Work out your wattage

Start with your GPU maker's recommended PSU size, then add 100–200W of headroom. Rough guide below. PCPartPicker will also estimate it for a full parts list.

Check the quality

A cheap PSU can take other parts with it when it fails. Check community tier lists like the SPL PSU Tier List or efficiency testing at Cybenetics. Spend more for high-end builds.

Match connectors and size

Newer NVIDIA cards use a 12V-2x6 (12VHPWR) plug — a PSU with a native cable is cleaner than an adapter. Small cases need an SFX unit. Fully modular PSUs make cable management much easier.

Graphics card	Suggested PSU
RTX 5060 · RX 9060 XT	550–650W
RTX 5060 Ti · RTX 5070	650–750W
RX 9070 · RX 9070 XT · RTX 5070 Ti	750–850W
RTX 5080	850W+
RTX 5090	1000W+

Rough guide only. Always follow the recommendation on your exact card's spec page.

How to use these picks. These are parts we'd happily put in our own builds, based on what we've built and tested. They're aimed at gaming, so heavy video editing or AI work may need different choices. The list isn't every good option, and prices in the UAE move often — the ◆ marks are a rough price level, not a quote. Nobody pays us to be listed here. Links open a search on Amazon.ae and noon so you can compare current prices.
